Thank you Brian!
I understand that model ST10000NM0016 has some kind of encryption (not explained in detail in the manual).
Since this is the model that I'm buying (the only one available in Italy) and since I don't need encryption I'd like to ask:
1) does encryption slow down the hard drive in any way at all?
2) If in the future I connect this hard drive to another PC, will the encryption create problems in reading the content?
Thanks in advance!

I'm about to buy two Seagate Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD (Helium) hard drives. I'm interested in the 10TB drives, 512E, SATA.
There are two Seagate models that look identical to me.
What is the difference between model ST10000NM0016 and ST10000NM0086 ?
I asked Seagate but I didn't get any real answer.
I'm not interested in Encryption and I can't find any explanation of what "Hyperscale 512e" is. At the moment the only model available in Italy seems to be ST10000NM0016.
